Mar 23, 2021 · Nihilism is a side effect of depression. Depressed people tend to think about things and if you're logical and thinking about things nihilism is the logical conclusion. there's four things I do to not be depressed and if I'm not doing them I will eventually be depressed.

Feb 11, 2023 · It's more like a story of how to overcome nihilism, which we all have to do at some point. I think Universe 1 (or wtv it was called) Waymond had to find the blandest version of Evelyn because she was the only one who could perform the feat of valuing love over everything else and essentially giving up her new found powers.

Jan 9, 2016 · At least in my conception of it, nihilism doesn't argue that morals are false, because to do so implies a value to truth, which nihilism also regards as an empty concept. In other words, a nihilist doesn't say, "Your moral system is wrong," a nihilist says, "Your moral system and its truth value are arbitrary and irrelevant."

Nihilism is a broad topic in philosophy, but existential nihilism (which is what OP is describing) doesn't exclude subjective value, only the objective. Most often, it postulates that intrinsically, there is no value. It says nothing about perception or internal interpretation. In some respects, you can compare or even link it to relativism.

The mistake of moral nihilism is, I think, getting caught up by the fact that morality is complicated. Yeah, it's a tough problem to, say, decide when it is no longer morally acceptable to abort a fetus/baby (if you disagree, I don't care; think of a different example where the difficulty is apparent and pretend I said that).

When I went to r/changemyview, one redditor simply said that nihilism is for "edgy teenagers and is total a cop-out" which wasn't really a good argument. What good arguments have you read that go against nihilism's ideas that there is no intrinsic meaning or value to life, no intrinsic morality, no way of truly knowing something, etc.?

Nihilism is the state of mankind after the death of God, which has never been good news. Either God is still there somewhere hidden in the secret depth of his essence (Pascal's idea of Deus Absconditus) and we should place our faith in eternity eventually bringing God back, or he's really dead and we're stuck with broken pieces of his corpse.

Feb 27, 2022 · Set in modern-day America, Bel-Air is a serialized one-hour dramatic analogue of the 90’s sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” that leans into the original premise: Will’s complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air.
